Hi All, I wanted to share a response my spouse and I received from Peet's Coffee and Tea. We brought a bag of ground coffee. When we were going to perculate some, we read the directions and I thought it was asking for to much ground coffee since I know 2 teaspoons are 10g. So I wrote to customer service and got this reply:
Feedback Concern: Coffee and Tea questions. Feedback or question: The instructions on the label of Espresso Forte read that we should measure 2 TBSP (10 g) per 6 oz of water. However, 10 g equals 2 tsp. So, it seems to us that you're labeling instructions are incorrect. So, we measured 12 tsp for our percolator which holds 4 1/2 8 oz cups. -- Sincerely, Edward B. Stephany (Peet's Coffee and Tea) Aug 27, 8:53 AM Hi Sarah and Edward, Thanks for your email. In checking the website for "The Basics-Coffee FAQ", here is what they say about measuring coffee: A standard "cup" of coffee uses six ounces (177 ml) of water. The SCAA's standard measure of ground coffee for this quantity of wateer is 10 grams (+/- 1 gram) or slightly over a third of an ounce (or, simply, two tablespoons). I believe measurement depends on the items being weighed. We appreciate your business and your time in contacting us, and let me know what additional comments you have. Warmest regards, Stephany | Customer Service Specialist | Peet's Coffee & Tea
